African Habitat

Now the train enters the African habitat. You pass a steep rocky cliff, and you see a family of large primates on Baboon Rock. Baboons live in rough mountainous regions of Africa and are highly gregarious and intelligent. We'll have a troop of them in their own sculptured domain.

Then the train enters a grassland studded with tall flat-bottomed acacia trees. You'll see the reason for the flat bottoms: a bull giraffe with two mates nibbling on the bottommost leaves.

Giraffes need a tall barn. We can tuck it against the cliffs under Baboon Rock, and antelope or gazelle can share the barn and grazeland with the giraffes. Crowned cranes and ground hornbills will roam through the grasses. Unobtrusive barriers will make the Veldt seem unfenced. Wooden walkways cantilevered over the hillside above the water hole will give picnickers in Palm Garden a closeup view of the animals.
